Heroscape Underworld
Heroscape Underworld
Beneath Valhalla’s surface lies another world, a dark world, a series of natural caverns and worked stone that befuddle all attempts to map them. When creatures of Torin and Eberron were summoned to Valhalla, they recognized this second world as similar to the so-called “Underdarks” of their own home planets. But the native Kyrie give it a different name: The Underworld. Some say it stretches into the very heart of the planet, twisting around the roots of the World Tree. Others say it penetrates not just space, but also dimensions and time. These philosophers speculate that the Underworld may offer a path home to those creatures who have been summoned by the well springs. Few agree what the Underworld is, and even fewer agree on who crafted its stone corridors. But all know this: it hides in its bosom a series of Treasure Chambers offering wealth, honor and prestige to those with the desire, courage and skill to find them. Your characters have that desire; they have that courage. But only time will tell if they have that skill.
Heroscape Underworld is a solitaire or cooperative game for 1-4 players in the mold of Warhammer Quest or Advanced Heroquest. Players choose a figure (or make their own using Kaiyu's Heroes of Scape), choose a Quest and, while they play, generate an "Underworld", or series of tunnels, to explore. Random adversaries try to ambush the player figures, emerging from shadows, hidden doors, and even dropping from the ceiling in an attempt to prevent the player figures from achieving their goals. If the player figures make it to one of three fabled treasure chambers, they must face a final conflict before emerging, victorious, from the Underworld.
